About the Farm
Nestled in the heart of Vermont's rolling hills, Bourdon Maple Farm has been carrying on one of the state's most cherished traditions since 1953. What began as a humble hobby for two brothers collecting from 200 buckets each spring has blossomed into a thriving 10,000 tap sugaring operation that honors both time-tested methods and modern innovations. The farm stands as a testament to Vermont's deep agricultural roots, where maple syrup flows like liquid gold through generations of dedicated sugarmakers.
At the helm of this organic maple enterprise is Don Bourdon, whose 30 years of sugarmaking experience reflects a profound love for the land and sustainable seasonal business practices. A graduate of the University of Vermont with degrees in Economics and Political Science, plus a master's in Natural Resources Planning, Don spent three decades working for the Two Rivers Regional Planning Commission while nurturing his maple operation. His expertise extends beyond the sugarbush, as he's globally recognized for Stanley steam car restoration and boiler-making, bringing that same precision and craftsmanship to his maple production.
The farm's commitment to excellence extends through every aspect of their operation, from forest stewardship to the final bottle. Working alongside Don is Meg Emmons, who joined the team in 2012 and now heads operations, sales, and marketing. With her degree in Ecological Agriculture from UVM and deep roots in Vermont's farming community, she embodies the farm's dedication to sustainable practices and community partnerships. Together with their hardy crew of New England sugarmakers, they produce pure organic Vermont maple syrup that captures the essence of rich forest soils and spring mountain snowmelt, creating a unique flavor profile with notes of vanilla and golden sugar that represents the very best of Vermont's maple tradition.
